Ah, I remember when I cared about these list, and thought they meant something. Especially without any knowledge of who voted.

10/10 pollsters know that you can get a list to say whatever you want and slap whatever title on it you want, and 10/10 adults know that the vast majority of kids who care about such rankings don’t have the breadth of viewing experience to know what entertainment really is yet.

K? Most Entertaing? How can this be…the series started good, then quickly started to deteriorate…well, at least they did mention Jormangand and JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, which are two of the best action anime of the year…IMO…

4 Seasons with 12+ Anime Series Each
that’s 48… and yet I seem to be missing a few of the series that I liked this year. One that I’m currently watching: Zetsuen no Tempest. I thought that Studio Bones did a great job on it so far, and I like where it’s going.

Chuunibyou Demo Koi ga Shitai! was a fun little series, very different. Very high on the Moe’ factor, but I think it worked in this case. Not always impressed by everything I see from any given studio. Good work KyoAni.

Fate/Zero, I would argue was definitely better than any Fate/Project that has ever been worked on in the past. I especially found myself getting into a few of the characters like Rider and his master… And there was a great plenty of neck-breaking entertainment to go around.

There are a number of these that I didn’t watch, simply because I ran out of time. However, I find that I’m often in the minority when it comes to liking the lesser-popular series, and yet I find them entertaining. Strange.

A few of these that were listed I’m perfectly okay with like Fate/Zero, Chuunibyou Demo Koi ga Shitai!, and Haiyore! Nyaruko-san…

Something about dead people intrigues me into watching Zetsuen no Tempest.
Hagure Yuusha no Ethestica just reminds me of Demonbane without the Mecha. And To Love Ru is just naughty… I can’t wait to see the DVD/BD release…
(They should just release a hentai already though…. I don’t actually like watching hentai, but in this case I might make an exception.)

I loved it to bits, but it was only truly entertaining until after the homemade horror film investigation fiasco.
To be honest, I only watched it because I wanted to see whether or not there’ll be romance between the two main characters, everything else was rather boring. Certain episodes really dragged on, too. Almost like they had to fill up the 22 ep. scheme they chose but ran out of ideas halfway through.

Another was pretty entertaining, definitely doesn’t deserve #50. After watching Hyouka, it reminded me that episode of Naruto that caused me to stop watching the show itself. They were on a mission to protect that old geezer’s bowl, that’s right, fucking bowls…..

i dont know about hyouka since i didnt see it yet
but SAO is definitely entertaining
my mood for anime this year have been waning off
only SAO entertained me now, which previously was gintama and bimbougami ga
a lot people keep on comparing SAO and Fate Zero here.
indeed maybe Fate Zero writing the best for this year, but it still sleep inducing to me. talking about entertaining, definitely SAO better than Fate Zero. even the not so into anime will find SAO better than Fate Zero. only hardcore anime watcher that watch to look for story loop hole cant apreaciate SAO

While the positions of certain anime series are highly controversial and disputable, as always, we aren’t talking about the best anime of this year, but the most entertaining one. I don’t know about you, but I think that Fate/zero is infinitely better than Sword Art Online in terms of most aspects; storytelling, dialogue and theming. But I can see why SAO is above F/z for one reason: atmosphere. Nothing gets my adrenaline pumping more than Kirito screaming like a madman while charging at the enemy and the main theme kicks in.

I want to bury my head and weep every time Kirito goes apeshit, but yeah, to each their own. I can see SAO being more entertaining but not for the reasons you’re mentioning — it’s one of those shows that just IS entertaining. It doesn’t require a brain, and most otaku can relate because nearly all of them play or have played MMORPGs. It’s a dream otaku scenario.

I don’t know about you, but when Kirito is charging at the enemy screaming like a madman, I burst out laughing. Every time. But then again, doesn’t that mean the show is literally entertaining? I doubt that’s how the authors meant it to happen, but that’s the reality.

Pretty much this. And the fuck Hyouka? Really? Really?! While I would agree that some parts of Hyouka were pretty entertaining a lot of it were incredibly boring and the mysteries were mostly trivial. <_<

for a moment, I was appreciating the fact that Zero no Tsukaima was so close to the bottom (felt bad about Another, though)…. until I realized that there are usually more than 50 titles in a year, and some of the ones not present (and thus out-done by Zero) include Binbougami and Highschool DxD… fucking hell!
